DESCRIPTION:In multi-ethnic Malaysia\, the fostering of racial coexistence
 \, integration\, and solidarity becomes an important agenda of education. 
 Although many educational policies and programs for integration have been 
 implemented\, the success of the policies for fostering solidarity remains
  elusive. Among numerous factors that affect the success of the implementa
 tion processes\, school leadership stands out as the crucial one. The lack
  of consciousness and gaps in the principals' knowledge base in leading sc
 hools with diverse student population hampers the success rate of the inte
 gration policy. Thorough preparation or grooming of a culturally responsiv
 e leadership seems to be critical. In order to develop culturally responsi
 ve leadership a model depicting a 'Knowledge base for leading multi-ethnic
  schools' is suggested.\n\nThis seminar is jointly hosted by the Centre fo
 r Commonwealth Education (CCE) and Leadership for Learning (LfL)
